 | [QUOTE=viper13]I have a Presario X1050, the laptop just froze on me all of a sudden, the screen went a little weird on me with waves going from one side to the other of the screen. I shut it down imm. but then it never started again. Now when I turn …  |
| | it sounds just like a cooling issue. my sisters dell is doing the same thing. i gave her a toshiba laptop to use and maybe she will be nice enough to let me disect hers to see what is causing the same problem you are having. Hers is a 4550 …  |
| | Re: NIC/ Ethernet Honestly, i thought they were the same thing. We use them synonymously at my work. I would like to know an awnswer to this too! |
| | Is your second hard drive new? Did you format it yet? If not, you can use the maxtor utility that came on the cd with the drive to format it. You should see it then. |
| | [QUOTE=EriCartman13]I tryed to change my ip address and now my internet does not work. Help please?[/QUOTE] what exactly did you do because your isp gives you an ip address, you can not change it. |
| | [QUOTE=habhater]oh crap........i bought a pci express video card of the internet rad x550 and i cant see anywhere for it to fit in...............[/QUOTE] should be the top slot on the mobo on top of the regular pci slots...right?  |
| | My 6 month old laptop has needed 4 reformats so far because of disk problems and now it wont boot past the windows loading screen. i played around and i found a diganositc test that could be run through the bios and it passed everything up till one called DST … |

| | Just plug in the new sata drive, and double check the bios settings to make sure that the boot order checks your old hard drive for the master boot record and that it is not checking the new sata drive. It sould work like a charm :) And yes, there … |
 | Re: PBR....2 hang I've never had issues with this from dell. All of the drives we get are unformatted oem's in static bags. Do they only do this for home users? |
| | although what you said about the processor needing thermal paste is sometimes true, it is unlikely that it is the problem here. On all of the toshibas that i have delt with in the past, it is due to the switch that tells the laptop whether or not the lid … |
| | integrated graphics needs more system ram! A minimum of 512! If you are stuck with a laptop with integrated graphics you shouldnt be expecting to play games like NFS 2 either, no offense, they are just not made to do that. The reason it most likely doenst use 64 megs … |
| | [QUOTE=joshuu]I have a computer that takes around ten minutes after switching the power on for it to start. It had happened like this sometimes back but when I ran adware and removed some spyware and was ok but now I have run adware and removed some spywares ,run updated norton …  |
 | I used to do this for team engadget. I got ranked around 800 before i stopped. I couldnt bear the heat my processor was taking. I would love to start up again, (for the good guys of course), but with the summer months here its too dang hot already. I … |
| | [QUOTE=buddyb]I'm working on this computer for a friend. It's dead in the water; won't turn on. I bought a new power supply hoping the simplest fix would be the answer, but no, no life. So, the next thing to check will be the RAM, then the processor; can't think of …  |
| | It is very possible that your hard drive croaked. My guess is your laptop is out of warrenty too, right? But first, lets make sure your laptop is truely dead. When you enter the bios, scroll through the pages and one should give you information about hard drives. Does it … |
| | you may have some nice neighbors stealing your internet for free. Yes you may see your speed get back up to normal if this is the case and you secure it so they can not get on to it. You can check in the router to see what computers are … |
| | After reading the dig article "Kids Outsmart Web Filters" which links to a CNet News Article . I was wondering what measures you have used or know that have been used to bypass internet filters. I have the sole interest of securing internet access in my schools. Thanks guys! |

| | i would get a pair of 512 sticks of ram and not overclock the board...ASRock are not the best boards in the world and overclocking would not get you too far with them... |
| | i have an asus p4sd-vx oem from sony. It origionally came with 8 usb 2.0 ports however now they are all reading slower than that either usb 1.0 or 1.1. I know this becasue of my pen drive it recognizes as a high speed device in a non highspeed port … |
| | Re: PC Wont Post sounds like all the dead cpu's ive delt with. I always think they are the mobo too but it ends up that its not the mobo but it is the cpu. I have reason to belive it is this in your case as well. Best of luck... |
| | [QUOTE=feigned]Yes, 11Mbps. QUOTE] Yes 11 mbs would be as fast as you can go but actual data of ethernet cable bandwidth is about %60 percent efficient due to signal collisions and such and this increases over distance...im sure the same is true for wireless G...in my personal expirence i get … |

| | Im not sure if these settings are the same as i've been running internet explorer 7 for about 6 months now, but basically its the auto complete setting that is enabled, but needs to be disabled. Go into tools -> internet options and tab over to advanced. In there there … |
| | Was this in a brand computer such as hp, dell, etc...or was it a build you or someone else did. |
| | I would not disconnect the processor fan in a laptop! Don't do it or even think of doing it! Fans with age collect dust and sometimes they get loud because all the dust on the blades. However, sometimes dust gets inside the ball berring casing and instead of the ball … |
| | This means that you have a setting in the bios that says something like "network boot" and it is enabled. It can be disabled with no problem. Basically what it is used for is companies that do lots of computer imaging use boot to nic to directly download an image … |
| | My question is will the magnetic fields generated by everyday objects or the elecronics within a computer cause some errors in magnetic memory? What about your computer sitting next to your big crt monitor. Could this have the potential to perminatly change the magnetic pole orientation within the memory?  |
| | I can see this helping greatly in the future, but obviously not quite yet. I agree with you and i am sure that most other people do as well, in that it is not always such a smart idea to be an early adopter of any form of new technology. … |
| | a lot of times you need to hit fn and one of the "F_" buttons. My dell is F7. And just an fyi, that port on the back of the computer is not an svideo connection. Although they look similar, its just a laptops video out. Their pins are a … |
| | No, a power supply will not turn on unless it is conected to a functioning motherboard. It is very possible that your motherboard could be damaged. They rarely show visual signs. |
| | It is not possible to say for sure if it is the connector on the motherboard or the connector on the powersupply without testing them. The only way to fix the motherboard (if it is broken) is to re-solder the connection (rather tricky if you arent good at this). Or … |
| | [QUOTE=Slam]I recently bought a 17" LCD flat panel display from Dell. I noticed that there is a cluster of 4-8 pixels on lower right corner of the monitor that are brighter than the rest of the screen. However, these brighter pixels can only be seen when the screen is of … |
| | It sounds like your office suite was installed to be run over the network/ off of your works server meaning that its probably not actually installed on your machine. I could be wrong, but it sounds like you aren't licenced to have it installed on that computer. You may have … |
| | no offense, but i dont think anyone has a chance against myspace. many have been trying but not with much if any success. I think your wasting your time trying to do this.  |
 | [QUOTE=Fiv3fing3r]Just a random thing If you are running a laptop with an ATI card on battery "powerplay" must be turned onto max performance to run Vista. This means that the system then eats power like a heavy set man in a cake shop.[/QUOTE] Thats only if you want to enable …  |
